INSTALLATION, OPERATION,

LUBRICATION, MAINTENANCE AND

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY 

Electrical power or engine must be shut o completely

beore attempting service on the pump or its drive. Air

surrounding the unit to be ree o toxic, fammable, or

explosive gases.

Tools needed should be planned or in advance (see

valve seat pulling instructions), and should be clean

and o adequate size. A torque-wrench will be required

to tighten connecting rod cap screws.

A properly sized and set relie valve installed in the

pump discharge system (ahead o any block valves) is

necessary to protect personnel and to avoid dangerous

overpressure. The relie valve set pressure shouldbe not more than 25% above the design operating

pressure and should discharge to tank or to the

atmosphere (toward the ground), and must not be

directed back to the pump suction system.

WARNING: Improper use of this equipment could result 

in loss of life.

STORAGE 

Pumps are shipped dry rom the actory. I a pump has

been in storage in a humid environment or more than

6 months the crankcase cover should be removed andcareully examined or rust or water collected in the

power end. Flush out any evidence o rust or damage

that exists, using a light clean oil.

Pumps to be placed in extended storage should be

cleaned, repaired as needed, and completely lled to

the top with clean oil to prevent rusting. Rotate pump

monthly 4-1/2 resolutions. Plug all openings to prevent

air entry and oil leakage.

Fluid ends must be completely drained o water and

suction and discharge ports blanked o. Store pump in

a clean, dry location.

PUMP LOCATION AND PIPING DESIGN 

Locate pump and driver in a clean, well drained,

ventilated, and brightly illuminated area, with adequate

working spaces around the pump to provide ample

access to fuid end, power end, and associated drive

elements. Do not expect good maintenance to result i

the pump is positioned on muddy terrain, or in a dirty,

cramped, dimly lighted area!

The supply tank(s) should be large to allow dissolved

air and other gases to escape rom the liquid and allow

suspended solids to settle out beore entering pump.

A system employing dams and settling chambers

is desirable.

CAUTION: All pumps should be installed level. For

mobile applications the maximum angle o intermittent

operation pumps (SC pumps) should be no more than

5 degrees in any one direction.

Pumps are not designed to withstand piping weight,vibration, and the eects o thermal piping expansion/ 

contraction. Piping loads may be considerable and the

weight o all valving, dampeners, lters, and associated

orces, moments, and couples must be completely

isolated. Use fexible hoses and rigid piping supports to

isolate the pump and its driver rom these eects.

SUCTION PIPING 

No part o the piping system deserves more careul

planning than the suction piping system. Suction

piping must be SHORT, DIRECT, and OVERSIZE. Use

one pipe size larger than the pump suction connection.

The shorter it is, the better! 1 to 3 eet per second

suction velocity is acceptable.

Reerence the ollowing table to size a direct suction

line rom a tank to a pump.

RO-185

Use no elbows, tees, or restricted port valves in

this line. Do not install orice plates or positive

displacement type fuid meters in the suction line

which act as fow restrictors. Avoid the use o suction

lters, i possible. Consider ltering the liquid as

it enters the supply tank rather than as it leaves

it. The use o an eccentric reducer with the fat

side up located at the pump suction connection is

recommended. The suction line should slightly rise

rom tank to pump and loops in which air may collect

must be avoided.

The absolute pressure in a suction line may be less

than atmospheric pressure and air may be “sucked”

into the line unless all fanges and connections are

airtight and watertight. I you can see water leaking out

o a suction line when the pump is still, that may mean

air is being sucked in when the pump is running.

Suction piping should be buried beneath the rost

line, or insulated to avoid reezing in the winter. I the

suction line has a block valve at the supply tank, a

suitable relie valve is suggested to relieve the suction

Suction piping is oten large, heavy (especially when

lled with liquid), and tends to vibrate. Proper solid

supports are recommended. A suction hose located

near the pump will isolate these eects, protecting

the pump rom the orces and moments that piping

weight creates.

New suction piping systems should be fushed ree

o pipe scale, welding slag, and dirt beore starting

the pump. Hydrostatic testing to detect air leaks is

advisable. Proper choice o suction hose construction is

essential to avoid collapse o the hose liner.

Install a dry type compound gauge in the suction

line near the pumps which should fuctuate evenly. I

violently pulsating, this gauge indicates that the

pump is not ully primed, or that one or more valves

are inoperative.

ACCELERATION HEAD A characteristic o all reciprocating pumps is the

imperative need to consider the eects o acceleration

head which is a SYSTEM-related phenomenon.

Acceleration head may be considered to be the loss o

available hydraulic head (energy) in the piping system

occurring because the demand by the pump cylinders

or liquid is not smooth and even. Because the pump’s

demand or liquid is cyclical, the velocity o the liquid

in the entire suction system is not truly constant but

varies in response to the combined demand o the

reciprocating plungers. Thus, liquid in the suction

system is compelled to be accelerated and deceleratedseveral times during each crankshat revolution,

depending on the number o plungers. Called

“acceleration” head, this loss o available hydraulic

head is proportional to:

(a) The speed (RPM) o the crankshat

(b) The average liquid velocity in the piping

(c) The length o the suction piping

(d) The number o pumping chambers (triplex, etc.)

(e) The compressibility o the liquid

Thus, or a given pump, acceleration head eects maybe reduced by the use o the shortest possible suction

line, sized to reduce liquid velocity to a very low speed.

This is oten more economical than the use o charge

pumps or expensive suction stabilizers.

NOTE: Charge pumps should be sized to 150% o rated

pump volume. Charge pumps need to be centriugals,

not a positive displacement pump.

A charging pump is usually not a good substitute or a

short, direct, oversize suction line, nor is it a substitute

or the computation o available NPSH, acceleration

head, riction head, vapor pressure and submergence

eects duly considered. Required NPSHR o Aurora

Pump, Aplex Series pumps depends on speed,

choice o plunger size and valve spring type. Consult

Aurora Pump, Aplex Series Engineering or help

with your particular application. A ull discussion o

suction system losses is given in the Standards o the

Hydraulic Institute, 14th Edition.

A common design mistake is the connecting o two

(or more) reciprocating pumps to a COMMON suction

header. This is a prooundly complicated suction

system, largely not amenable to mathematical analysis,

and is requently the cause o severe pump pounding,

vibration and early valve ailures. Each pump should

be ed by its own separate, individual piping system,

ree rom the eects o other pump cyclical demands

or liquid.

DISCHARGE PIPING 

A properly designed discharge piping system usually

prevents the need o a pulsation dampener. The mostcommon mistakes made in the design o the discharge

piping system are:

1. Pumping directly into a tee or header. A

“standing” wave (either audible or subaudible)

then oten occurs. I fow must enter a header,

use a 45º branch lateral (or equivalent) to avoid a

refecting surace rom which sound can refect.

2. Pumping into short radius 90º elbows. Instead,

use two 45º elbows spaced 10 or more pipe

diameters apart.

3. Pumping into a right angle choke valve.

4. Pumping into too small piping line size. Piping

should be sized to keep fuid velocity below 15

eet per second, max.

5. Pumping through an orice plate, small venturi,

or reduced port “regular opening” valve.

6. Pumping through a quick closing valve, which can

cause hydraulic shock (water-hammer).

A good discharge piping system includes:

1. A properly sized, correctly set relie valve.

Discharge rom relie valve returned to tank (not

to pump suction).2. A ull opening discharge gate or ball valve. Avoid

restricting plug valves, globe valves and angle

valves.

3. A pressure gauge with gauge dampener or

snubber. Consider a liquid lled gauge. (Scale

range to be double the normal pump operating

pressure.)

Locate the relie valve and pressure gauge ahead o

any block valve and so that the pressure in the pump

is always refected at the relie valve. The relieving

Page 18: Aplex Pump

7/14/2019 Aplex Pump

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/aplex-pump 18/4418

capacity o the relie valve must exceed the capacity o

the pump to avoid excessive pressure while relieving.

Use a ull size relie line.

To minimize vibration (whether hydraulic or

mechanical), discharge lines should be kept short,

direct, well supported and solidly anchored. Avoid

“dead” ends and abrupt direction changes.

BYPASS PIPING 

Some designers ignore this important aspect o proper

design o pump piping systems.

A reciprocating pump, especially ater maintenance o

the valves or plungers, STARTS WITH ONE OR MORE

FLUID CHAMBERS FULL OF AIR. Pumps operating on

propane, butane, or other volatile liquids START WITH

VAPOR IN THE FLUID CHAMBER(S).

Positive displacement pumps do not automatically

purge themselves o air and gas ater shutdown.

For example, a quintuplex plunger pump will, aterservicing, expel the air in our o the ve pump

chambers. Thus, the pressure rom our o the “active”

cylinders will keep shut the discharge valve o the

“inactive”, or “air bound,” cylinder. Then, the air or

gas in this cylinder will be compressed and expanded

by its reciprocating plunger and never leave the

chamber. Similar eects occur in duplex and

triplex pumps.

To overcome these diculties, adequate provision or

expelling the gas in the “air bound” cylinders must

be present. Common practice is to totally relieve the

pump o all discharge pressure during the start-up,

ater servicing.

Consider the operational advantage o a ull-sized

bypass line (return to tank) which substantially removes

discharge pressure rom all cylinders during the start.

This requires a block valve on the discharge side and a

ull opening bypass valve on the other side.

For economy, the bypass (to tank) can be combined

with the relie valve discharge line. This line must be

ull-sized, well supported, and sloped downward to

avoid reezing in cold weather. (A rozen relie valve

line provides NO protection to either the pump or

operating personnel!)

The ability o a reciprocating pump to be “sel-priming”

depends on the ratio o the swept (displaced) volume in

the cylinder to the unswept (clearance) volume at the

end o the stroke. This depends on the design o the

fuid end and on the plunger size selected.

Choice o the largest size plunger or a particular

fuid end improves this compression ratio and so

leads to “sel priming”, or easy priming. Choice

o the minimum size plunger sometimes leads to

diculties, especially with pumps that require requent

servicing, or which handle volatile liquids, or which

contain substantial amounts o dissolved air or gas.

An automatic bypass and purging system or these

applications may be merited.

LUBRICATION 

Aurora Pump, Aplex Series pumps use S.A.E. 40 wt.

nondetergent oil in the crankcase. This oil requires

only a nonoaming additive and should possess good

water separation (antiemulsion) characteristics. Such

oils are oten labeled “industrial” or “turbine” quality

lubricants. I these oils are not available, a good

quality gear oil or EP oil may be substituted. See

lubrication guidelines.

In temperate climates, oil viscosity selected should

all between 70 and 84 seconds Saybolt viscosimeter

at 210º F. In arctic service, low pour point oils

are needed.

Ater the rst 500 hours o operation in a new pump,

drain the oil. Rell with clean, resh oil. Thereater,

change the oil every 1,500 hours or sooner i it

becomes contaminated with water or dirt. Fill to the

center o the sight gauge. Recheck ater starting,

adding oil to center o gauge while running.

The table below shows the quarts o oil needed or

each pump.

V-BELT DRIVE 

A properly designed, well-aligned V-belt will provide

years o reliable, economical service i properly

tensioned and kept dry, ree o oil and ventilated.

Alignment is critical or long lie. I the shat axes

are not truly parallel, or i the sheave grooves are not

positioned in good alignment, some belts will carry

most o the load, resulting in their disproportionate

load share and may actually twist or turn over in the

groove. Use a straight edge across the rim o the

sheaves to detect and correct or misalignment.

Ater about one week o operation, new V-belts will

have stretched somewhat. The motor must be moved

on its slide base to re-establish proper belt tensioning.

Insucient tension results in slippage, burning,

squealing (especially during starting) and shortened

belt lie. Overtightening imposes excessive loads on

pump and motor bearings and can cause early shat

atigue ailure.

Belts must be matched in pitch length. I one ortwo belts are slack, when the others are correctly

tensioned, investigate or possible reasons. Correct

any misalignment or lack o matching so each belt will

transmit its load share.

Sheaves must be balanced to prevent abnormal

vibration. Balancing weights must NOT be removed.

Type “QD” sheaves must be evenly tightened on their

tapered hubs to avoid rim wobble and severe lateral

vibration. V-belts that snap and jerk will produce

abnormal vibration and loads on both pump and motor

or engine.

Run the pump several minutes at ull load with belt

guard removed, observing or uneven motion on the

belt slack side, especially.

When an old V-belt drive becomes unserviceable,

replace ALL belts, not just the broken or cracked belts.

Do not operate belts on sheaves having worn, rusted,

greasy or broken grooves. Shut o power to driver

beore servicing drive or pump.

WARNING: Do not operate without appropriate guards 

in place.

DIRECTION OF ROTATION 

Beore placing pump in operation, check that

crankshat rotation agrees with the arrows cast on top

o the power rame by briefy jogging the electric motor.

Crankshat rotation must be clockwise as viewed rom

the right side o pump.

I pump is gear driven, remember that the pinion

shat turns opposite the crankshat, i using a single-

reduction geared drive or in the same direction as the

crankshat when using a planetary gear.

AUTOMATIC (SAFETY) SHUTDOWNS 

Careully check all electric shutdown devices present,

such as crankcase oil level, discharge pressure,

vibration, lubricator oil level, motor thermostat, etc.

CRANKSHAFT ASSEMBLY

GENERAL 

Aurora Pump, Aplex Series crankshat suspension

uses two single-row tapered bearings, which are shim

adjusted to provide the correct running clearance.

Thorough cleaning o all components prior to assembly

is essential.

Power rame, shat, bearings and retainer MUST be

scrupulously scrubbed with clean solvent (such as

kerosene) beore starting. Remove any oil, dirt, rust and

oreign matter which might prevent the correct t up.

Crankshat journals are critical. Remove all burrs, rust

spots, and nicks, paying special attention to the ground

areas on which bearings and oil seals operate.

Connecting rods and crossheads may be installed either

beore or ater installing the shat in MA-120M pumps.

TAPERED ROLLER BEARINGS 

Shat and rame tolerances provide a tight (shrink) t

on the shat and in the carrier. The best way to install

the cone assembly (consists o the inner race, cage

and rollers) on the shat is to heat the cone assembly

in an electric oven or 30 minutes at 300 to 400ºF. No

more! (DO NOT heat bearings with an acetylene torch.

This ruins the bearings!) Using clean, insulated gloves,

C.D.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/aplex-pump 21/4421

Series

remove the hot cone assembly rom the oven, promptly

dropping it on to the shat.

The cone assembly MUST contact the seat thrust ace

(not be cocked), and the large end o the rollers MUST 

be down. Do not hammer on the bearing. The sot steel

cage is easily distorted, ruining its unction as a roller

separator and guide against skewing. I the cone does

not contact its thrust ace properly, it must be pressed

into place using a specially machined sleeve (which

does not touch the sot steel cage). A hydraulic press is

recommended i this diculty arises.

CUP INSTALLATION 

Tapered roller bearing cup (outer races) is a press-t in

the bearing carrier, using a hydraulic press. Cup must

be pressed into a clean carrier until the race solidly

abuts its shoulder (must not be cocked).

The tool or plate used or this must contact only the

outer end ace–not on the taper.

INSTALLING CRANKSHAFT

SHIM ADJUSTMENT OF TAPERED 

ROLLER BEARINGS 

To provide or crankshat thermal

expansion, sucient shims must be

installed to provide .005" to .015"

lateral end play, when shat is cold.

Shims must be placed only under thedrive side bearing carrier. The lube oil

housing has a gasket under it.

A eeler gauge and a 1" micrometer

caliper are required. Install a trail shim

set on one side o the pump. Tighten the

fange bolts on this side only.

CAUTION: Lubricate the frame bores 

and the O-ring seals located in each 

carrier to prevent damage during entry.

Oil the bearings.

Draw up the carrier, evenly tightening its cap screws.

Rotate the crankshat slowly by hand, seating all rollersinto running position.

Measure the gap existing between the rame ace and

carrier fange. The correct thickness o the shim set to

be installed equals the measure gap plus about .010".

(No pre-load.)

Ater installing above shim set, a dial indicator may be

used against the end o the shat to conrm the shim

selection. Bump the shat in one direction and zero

the dial indicator. Bump the shat the opposite way. I

shimming is correct, the shat will move laterally rom

.005" to .010".

The recommended tightening torque or bearing

retainer 5/8"-11UNC cap screws is 118 to 145 t. lb.

INSTALLATION OF CRANKSHAFT OIL SEAL 

Insert oil seal over the end o crankshat and position

it into the oil seal bore in the bearing carrier. Using a

rubber mallet, tap it into the bore until the ace o the

seal is fush with the bearing carrier.

LUBE OIL PUMP ASSEMBLY 

Lube oil pump and lter assemblies are employed

in certain Aurora Pump, Aplex Series pumps. This

assembly is installed ater the shat and its tapered

bearings have been correctly set. Providing ltered

oil under pressure (35 to 75 psi) to all crosshead pin

bushings and crankpin bearings, this special gear

pump is driven by a bloted-on drive shat. Driver ismade with a emale drive square which drives the male

square end o the lube oil pump shat.

The driver shat is piloted by the main bearing inner

race cone and is secured to the crankshat by our

socket head cap screws. Stake their heads using a

center punch to upset the adjoining metal.

The lube oil pump (Tuthill) is a gear type pump

possessing a sel-reversing sector which automatically

switches suction and discharge connections in the

event (not recommended) that the pump is caused to

rotate opposite the correct direction. The lube

oil pump is readily removed or inspection, repair, or

replacement without disturbing any other

pump component.

The lube oil pump shat is journaled in a bronze

bushing tted into the bearing carrier. I this bushing

becomes worn (check or contaminated crankcase oil),

it must be promptly replaced. A worn bronze bushing

will cause this pump to requently lose its prime, and

also may cause excessive wear in the pump rotor teeth.

DISASSEMBLY 

Ater removing the connecting rod cap and cap bolts

(note identiying marks on each cap so each may be

later correctly reassembled onto its own rod) remove

a bearing carrier rom the rame. Two jack out tapped

holes are provided in the fange o the carrier or this

purpose. Support the shat during removal to

avoid damage.

The crankshat may now be extracted, once all

connecting rods are moved clear. Examine the crankpin

suraces or wear or corrosive pitting. The correct

diameters o these journals are:

Crankpin Diameter ............................4.0000/3.9990"

I worn more than .010" undersize, crankshat should

be replaced, or an attempt to salvage it may be made

at a shop well equipped to grind the crankpins which

must be ully round, chrome plated, and nish ground

to the above sizes. (Aurora Pump, Aplex Series does

not perorm this unction.)

Crankshat tapered roller bearings should be careullyexamined or pitting, scoring or corrosion, and replaced

as required. The cone and roller assembly is most

easily removed by rst cutting away the cage using

an acetylene cutting torch. Then heat the cone (inner

race) with the shat held vertically so cone will drop

o due to its own weight. Avoid excessive heat on the

crankshat which tends to distort its geometry.

Cups (outer races) o tapered roller bearings may be

extracted rom bearing carrier using a conventional

bearing puller tool o the automotive type (widely

available). Do not attempt to use heat on a bearing

carrier as this will result in severe distortion (out-o-

round). Replace the bearing carrier i broken or

out-o-round.

CONNECTING ROD, CROSSHEAD,

EXTENSION ROD, CROSSHEAD PIN

AND WIPER BOX ASSEMBLY/ 

DISASSEMBLY:

GENERAL 

Aurora Pump, Aplex Series connecting rod assemblies

employ precision automotive type steel backed,

babbitt-lined crankpin bearing halves which requireno shims or clearance adjustment. This pump

employs ull circle (piston type) crossheads and

hardened stainless steel extension rods, which are

eld replaceable.

Extension rods are provided with wrenching fats

to permit tightening o the tapered thread into the

crosshead, establishing accurate alignment while

aording easy eld installation.

Beore beginning the assembly all parts must be

scrupulously cleaned, removing all oil, dirt, rust, and

oreign matter which prevent proper tting, or which

might tend to score the rubbing suraces. Cleanand examine the power rame bores or scoring and

abnormal wear, especially wear o the lower crosshead

guide way. Hone smooth, i rough.

Measure the bores o the rame using inside

micrometers to determine abnormal rame wear i any.

Crosshead O.D.: 5.742/5.740

New Frame Bores: 5.749/5.742

Frame bores that have become worn more than .015"

must be sleeved with a cast iron liner to re-establish

correct geometry and alignment. Contact Aurora Pump,

Aplex Series concerning the repair o badly worn

rame bores.

INSTALLING WRIST PIN BUSHINGS 

The wrist pin bushing is precision machined

bearing bronze which is press tted into the eye o

the connecting rod.

Bushing O.D.: 2.256/2.255

Connecting Rod Eye: 2.251/2.254

Careully align the bushing with its hole, and ater

applying oil to bushing O.D. use a hydraulic press

to orce it home. When a bronze bushing is pressed

into place, the I.D. (bore) o the bushing is reducedsomewhat, owing to the extent o press t. Thereore,

a clean, new wrist pin should be inserted into the

bushing bore to establish that running clearance has

been obtained. The running clearance between the

wrist pin and installed bushing is:

New Pin O.D.: 2.0238/2.0233

Installed Bushing Bore: 2.0251/2.0261

Oil Clearance ........................................0013/.0028"

Replacement bushings are urnished prebored by

Aurora Pump, Aplex Series which usually eliminates

the need to ream the installed bushing bore. However,due to slight variations in nishes and tolerances

it sometimes happens that more than predicted

contraction o the I.D. occurs. This occurrence results

in a slight intererence which may be eliminated by

lightly honing the bore o the bronze. (NOT by reducing

the pin size!) An automotive engine repair shop usually

is equipped with power honing machines capable o

smoothly nishing the bushing bore. Bore o bushing

must be round and ree o taper.

PINNING THE 

CROSSHEAD A presst is employed

between the crosshead

pin and crosshead

to secure the pin

against any motion.

A hydraulic press is

employed to orce the

pin through the bosses

o the crosshead.

A mishap during insertion can occur causing the

ruin o the pin or the crosshead, i during application

o pressure:

(a) Pin is not aligned absolutely square with

the crosshead.

(b) Crosshead is not supported on v-blocks so it can

roll while under load.

(c) Connecting rod is not ully supported so pincannot enter the bushing without damage to it.

This will damage the bushing.

(d) Failure to oil pin O.D. and crosshead bores, to

prevent galling. Use clean motor oil.

Ater installing the pin, careully check the crosshead

O.D. to see i it is out-o-round. I so, a smart blow with

a rubber mallet will restore the crosshead O.D. into its

original roundness.

ORDER OF ASSEM BLY 

The connecting rod/crosshead assembly is installed

AFTER the assembly o the crankshat. In these

models, the rod and crosshead will pass through the

wiper box wall bore. With the rame in the horizontal

position, load the rods through the cradle.

PRECISION CRANK PIN (CRANKTHROW) BEARINGS

oer this service.)

Connecting rod /cap bore must be perectly round and

within above sizes and ree o taper. Discard i elliptical

or tapered as the result o abnormal heating. Each cap

and rod is match-marked or correct identication.

Take care that each cap is reinstalled properly with its

companion rod. Bearing halves are identical and are

prevented rom rotating by tongues which t into slots

in the cap.

Check that all oil holes are clean and ully open. GRIT 

is the greatest enemy o bearings, however precisely

manuactured. Hence, all suraces must be perectly

clean and lightly oiled prior to assembly. Remove any

burrs or sharp corners which prevent the perect tting

o these precision bearings. Using a torque wrench,

tighten cap bolts as ollows:

Thread Size: 1/2" – 13UNC

Tightening Torque: 60-75 Ft. Lb.

Specied torque, applied to clean, well oiled threadsand bearing aces, will create tensile stresses in the

cap bolts rom 90,000 to 110,000 psi, approx. and

will provide correct initial tension. Aurora Pump, Aplex

Series pumps use high strength cap bolts suitable or

these initial loadings, maintained by hardened spring

lockwashers. MA-120M use hardened lock washers and

other models use saety wire to maintain the required

tightness.

Ater all rods and caps are secured, slowly turn the

crankshat to be sure no bearing is in a bind.

Using a fashlight, examine the location o each

connecting rod (eye end) within its crosshead. Rodsmust not touch any crosshead boss or skirt.

OIL SCOOP 

MA-120M also employ oil scoops which are cast

integrally with the power rame and are machined to

lightly contact the crankshat cheek. No adjustment

is required.

WIPER BOX ASSEMBLY

GENERAL 

Extension rod wiper boxes (sometimes reerred to

as the diaphragm stung box, or stripper housing

assembly) serve two important unctions: retention o

crankcase oil in the power end and exclusion o dirtand water.

Aurora Pump, Aplex Series has developed a unique

sealing set which operates on a hardened and ground

stainless steel extension rod (oten called “pony”

rod), and a steel bafe disc aording protection

against leaking plunger packing. The seals require no

adjustment, only correct and careul assembly.

“POLY PAK” SEAL 

This seal keeps oil rom leaking out o the power rame.

Developed by the Parker Seal Group, this patented rodseal employs a sot nitrile rubber O-ring to energize a

special hard polyurethane Molythane® shell by orcing

the inner lip against the rod and the outer lip against

the housing bore, as shown.

The Poly Pak seal is inserted into its counter bore with

its lips directed toward the oil in the crankcase. (Will 

NOT work i installed backward!)

MECHANICAL OIL SEAL 

The oil seal is to keep contamination out o the power

rame. With the box positioned in a hydraulic press,

install the backup seal against the Poly Pak seal, with

the lips o both seals acing downward.

The mechanical seal contains a garter spring. Check

to see that this spring is still properly located and in

its position. The mechanical seal has a metal case

which serves to orce the Poly Pak seal into its cavity,

energizing its lips. Apply oil lightly to the bore o the

box beore pressing each seal into its counterbore.

INSERTING THE PLUNGER 

Insert the extension rod through the wiper seals with

the tapered thread and entering FIRST. Do not move

the extension rod through the seals with wrenchingfats entering rst. The sharp corners on the wrenching

fats may damage the seal lips, resulting in oil leakage.

With extension rod inserted through the wiper box

seals, thread the tapered threads (must be clean!) into

the tapered crosshead emale threads. Firmly tighten

and apply torque to the wrenching fats only. Never

damage the extension rod ground suraces!

Then asten the wiper box to the power rame by

tightening the cap screws. Oil leakage between rame

ace and wiper box is prevented by use o an O-ring.

STUFFING BOX, PACKING AND

PLUNGER ASSEMBLIES

GENERAL 

Aurora Pump, Aplex Series pumps all eature eld

removable and replaceable stung boxes with plungers

separable rom the extension rods.

I desired, the boxes, plungers, and packing units may

be installed (or removed) as a unit assembly, permitting

service outside the pump. All boxes are retained byour (4) studs and nuts, and are centered in the rame

bore, ensuring correct alignment.

The plungers may also be removed separately (without

box removal) to acilitate repacking. With this option,

the necessary space required to remove plunger, it is

rst necessary to remove the extension rod.

SPRING LOADED PACKING 

Note that the gland is screwed tightly onto the box

and contacts its ace. The spring is providing all o the

initial compression and adjustment. No adjustment is

provided by the gland.

Since the orce exerted by the spring is contingent on

the space provided or it, the correct lengths o all rings

is essential or good tensioning.

Spring:

A sti Inconel® spring, which closely ts the bore o

the stung box, is used in this assembly. This spring is

compressed in a vise to the operating length required

plus 0.25" and tied with waxed nylon spot tie cord. The

cord is looped over the ends o the spring through the

coils and tied to maintain the length mention above.

Each spring is assembled into the stung box. Note

that the spring does not contact the plunger.Spring-Guide Ring: 

Plungers are heavy and the importance o a well-tted

J-STYLE STUFFING BOX & PLUNGER ASSEMBLY 

(STYLES 838 & 858) 

Above depicts Styles 838 and 858 packing correctly

installed with all packing lips acing TOWARD the fuid

pressure. Note that two (2) units o Styles 838 and

858 packing are positioned ahead o the lantern ring,

and one (1) unit is positioned behind it. Thus lubricant

entering the lantern ring is orced toward the pressure.

Throat Bushing:

Plungers are heavy and the importance o a well tted

throat bushing that carries this weight is oten over-

looked. Discard any throat bushing that becomes worn

or scored, as it will not then serve its purpose. It should

t snugly in the bottom o the box. Apply oil generously

to this ring.

Styles 838 and 858 Packing:

Styles 838 and 858 are a NON-adjustable type

packing which depends solely on hydraulic pressure to

energize the sealing lips. (Gland-tightening orces doNOT energize the lips.) Tightening and hydraulic end

thrust loads are transmitted entirely through the center

support portions o each ring.

The fattened portions o the rings are large enough

to withstand overtightening. Do NOT attempt to

adjust this type packing. It should be kept thoroughly

tightened at all times. (Running it loose will ultimately

ruin the bore o the box.)

Running it loose will NOT usually cause it to drip at all,

but it can ruin the box in time.

Lightly oil each ring and the box bore and then lightly

tap in each ring separately with the rings acingcorrectly. This is most easily done beore installing

the plunger.

Lantern rings are provided with O.D. and I.D. relies

and two (or more) oil holes to allow lubricant to reach

the plunger. Ater the last unit o Styles 838 and 858

packing is in place, generously oil the lips o all seal

rings to ease plunger entry.

INSERTING THE PLUNGER 

Apply oil liberally to plunger O.D. and lightly tap it

through the packing.

A sot rubber mallet is recommended to avoid any

damage to the plunger ace or its threads. Remember:

The ragile nature o packing rings and plunger

suraces deserves your respect and avoidance o

careless damage to these key elements!

INSTALLING THE GLAND 

Considerable downward pressure on the gland is

required to compress the spring, to move the packing

into location, and to start the threads o the box.

Once the gland threads are started, screw it down

completely until it makes up tightly against the ace o

the box, or spring loaded packing. For Hi/Lo, J-Style

or Gland adjusted packing, tighten the gland until it is

seated rmly against the packing.

INSTALLING THE STUFFING BOX 

Aurora Pump, Aplex Series

stung boxes derive their

alignment rom the bores

o the power rame and

the aces o the fuid end.

So these suraces MUST 

be cleaned o rust, scale,and dirt beore assembly is

begun. Wash all contacting

suraces with clean solvent

and dry with a

CLEAN shop towel.

A nitrile rubber seal is used

to seal between the ace o

the fuid end (must be fat,

clean and smooth) and the

ace o the box. Replace i damaged.

All stung boxes are retained by our large studs and

nuts which extend through the power end, serving toclamp the box and the powerrame tightly against the

fuid end ace. These our stud nuts must be

EVENLY tightened.

Using a socket, socket extension, and torque wrench,

tighten clean, well-oiled threads and nut aces.

CONNECTING THE PLUNGER 

Install the metal bafe plate on the extension rod

and roll the pump slowly until the extension rod male

threads just touch the mating plunger emale threads.

Applying a pipe wrench to plunger knurled area,

thoroughly tighten the connection. Do NOT use a

“cheater” when connecting plunger to extension rod.

(Serves no useul purpose, and may damagethe connection!)

PACKING 

Packing lie or aramid ber packing may be improved

in some applications by regular, systematic lubrication.

An optional orce eed lubricator assembly is oten

recommended especially or pumps on continuous

duty. This provides regular, controlled supply o

lubricant lowering riction and heat.

Additionally, the regular application o the correct

lubricant aids dissolving o salt and gyp tending

to build up on the plungers in produced water

applications. For this service, Rock Drill Lubricant is a

popular and eective packing lubricant.

Plungers in CO2, ethane, or other very cold liquid

services may use brake fuid. This fuid does not

congeal into a solid which cannot enter the packing.

Consider the use o an air-sealed cradle into which

dry (instrument) air may be directed, excluding the

moisture which causes plunger icing especially in very

humid conditions.

Packing lubricant or pumps on light hydrocarbons,

hot water, lean oil, naphtha, or gasoline oten requires

experimentation.

A good start is to use steam cylinder oil. Castor oil

is sometimes successul as a packing lubrication

or liquid propane and butane services, at ambient

temperature.

In pumps placed in arctic service, a special low pourpoint oil is indicated.

Packing lubrication is not permitted on some services,

such as amine, ood stus, etc., and other packing

styles and materials may be required.

PLUNGERS 

Aurora Pump, Aplex Series oers its own unique

product: the Aurora Pump, Aplex Series Rokide® 

plunger. This premier quality plunger consists o a

chromium-oxide deposition on a solid stainless

steel body.Ordinary handling will not damage this ne product.

Avoid striking the coated surace (black) during

installation. Apply light orces only on the ends o the

plunger. Do not hammer or pry.

All threads on Aurora Pump, Aplex Series plungers

must be CLEAN and oiled beore assembly. Stainless

steel (although very corrosion resistant) has a tendency

to gall and seize. To avoid this, an anti-seizing lubrican

is well worth its use. Apply oil to the threads and the

rubbing surace.

Aurora Pump, Aplex Series can supply solid ceramic

plungers on order. This plunger is very ragile,vulnerable to thermal and mechanical shock, and must

be handled with the greatest care. Use only a rubber

mallet to insert it into the packing. Other plunger types

are available upon request.

DISC VALVE SYSTEMS AND

ABRASION RESISTANT

GENERAL 

Aurora Pump, Aplex Series has developed a unique

setting/puller system permitting quick, easy and saemethods o installing and removing tapered seat valves.

The system allows servicing without distortion o the

seat, with minimum eort and NO damage to fuid end

tapers or seat.

Tapered seats notoriously drive solidly down into

mating deck tapers, so rmly that extraction heretoore

has always posed severe problems. Old style valves

may be pulled only with the greatest eort, using “J”

puller heads (prone to ailure), CO2 – dry ice, and other

improvisations.

DISC VALVE AND ABRASION RESISTANT VALVE CONSTRUCTION 

The Aurora Pump, Aplex Series valve is a precisionmade subassembly using threads cut into the rim o

seat or use with Aurora Pump, Aplex Series setting/ 

pulling tool. These threads do NOT deteriorate as

proved by eld experience. By locating these on the

rim, setting/pulling orces are now applied only to the

rim o the seat, never to the webs (or “spokes”), or to

the center section. Distortion o the seat is eliminated.

Access to these seat threads is provided by the removal

o the valve cage on abrasion resistant valve or the

spring retainer on disc valves which is screwed onto the

seat. An anti-seizing lubricant applied to all threads is

good insurance against uture diculty.

SETTING THE VALVE SEAT 

Eective pressure-sealing between tapered (male) seat

and tapered (emale) fuid end deck is possible ONLY 

i the tapers are absolutely clean and dry just prior to

installation. Thoroughly clean suraces using a clean

solvent. Dry with a CLEAN shop towel.

Examine the cleaned fuid end deck tapers, using

a fashlight, and remove all deposits o gyp, salt, orother incrustation. Lightly emery cloth any minor

imperections ound in the deck taper.

The puller stem and puller head are provided with

tapered (locking) threads. Screw them together using

two pipe wrenches applied to the knurled areas

provided. Then screw the valve seat onto the puller

head by hand until it shoulders against the puller

shoulder. Do not tighten.

Lower the seat and puller assembly into the fuid end,

squarely setting the seat into the deck. Then pound the

top o the stem with a 6 pound hammer.

Unscrew the head and stem rom the seat using a 1/2"

bar (or screwdriver) into the hole provided at the top

end o the stem.

INSTALLING O-RINGS, ABRASION 

RESISTANT SPRING AND CAGE 

Install nitrile O-ring over the threaded

section o the seat and position it at

the bottom o the threads. Install the

polyurethane insert into the valve. The

insert may be heated in hot water to

make it fexible enough to stretch over

the valve. Position the valve into the

seat. Install the valve spring. Apply

anti-seizing lubricant to the threads o

the valve cage and screw the cage on

to the threaded valve seat with cage

setting tool.

INSTALLING DISC, SPRING,

DISC VALVES AND STEM: 

Aurora Pump, Aplex Series oers discs o Delrin® 

acetal resin, o 17-4PH S.S. hardened and ground, and

o titanium alloy.

Position the disc and Inconel® spring on the seat,

aligning the hole in the disc with the stem threads in

the seat center.

The stem, spring retainer, and locknut are shipped

rom Aurora Pump, Aplex Series already assembled and

tightened with a torque wrench with “Loc-Tite” sealant

added to the top stem threads only.

Stem Threads Tightening Torque

1/2"-13UNC 65-75 t. lb.

Use an anti-seizing lubricant in these threads. Thisis very necessary when seats and stems o Type 316

stainless steel are selected (optional) to prevent

galling. CLEANLINESS o threads and other contacting

suraces is o paramount importance in the assembly o

all valve elements.

VALVE SPRING OPTIONS 

All Aurora Pump, Aplex Series valve springs are made

o Inconel® material, precisely designed and abricated.

Unless otherwise specied, the standard spring is

urnished. It provides excellent results in the greatmajority o applications.

Pumps employed in marginally available NPSH

conditions may require a “soter” spring, to reduce the

required NPSH. For these special conditions, Aurora

Pump, Aplex Series can supply “Light” valve springs

which exert lower pressure on the valve disc. The use

o “Light” valve springs may be limited by the choice

o plunger size and/or limited by the chosen speed o

the pump. “Light” valve springs may be impractical

or pump models tted with their maximum plunger

size, or which operate near top speed rating as disc

bouncing and erratic seating may occur. Contact Aurora

or more inormation.

VALVE DISC OPTIONS 

Aurora Pump, Aplex Series acetal resin discs made

o DuPont Delrin® are machined fat and smooth to

produce perect sealing on the lapped-fat ace o the

seat. Used successully in thousands o applications,

these discs are light, slightly fexible under load, and

seal well, even at high pump speeds, providing smooth

pump action.

Acetal resins are very resistant to most corrodents, are

not usually suitable where fuid temperatures above

120 degrees are met. Nor do they aord long lie at

extreme pressures. Pressure limitations depend an

valve size. But continuous valve operation at pressures

above 2,500 psi usually indicates the need o metal

valve discs.

For higher temperatures or pressures, Aurora Pump,

Aplex Series oers lapped fat, hardened Type 17-4PH

stainless discs, or titanium alloy discs. These metal

discs are less tolerant o any ne grit in the liquid and

are noisier than the acetal resin disc.

PULLING THE VALVE SEAT 

First drain the fuid end entirely. For abrasion resistant

valves, use the cage wrench to unscrew the cage rom

the seat. For disc valves unscrew the stem rom the

seat. Remove the cage, spring and valve rom the fuid

end. Attach the Aurora Pump, Aplex Series puller headto the puller stem, tighten their tapered threads with a

pipe wrench applied to the knurled areas o the puller

stem and head. Lower the stem and head into the fuid

end and engage the threads o the head onto the seat

threads.

Using a 1/2" bar (or screwdriver), rotate the head

clockwise and thread it ully onto the seat. But do

NOT tighten.

Slide the bridge over the stem. Clean and oil the stem

threads. Oil the ace o the wing nut. Thread wing nut

down onto the stem, seating it on the bridge top rmly.

Extract the seat rom the pump by striking the wingnut with a heavy hammer. A hydraulic ram may also be

used. Stand clear o the pump when applying heavy

tonnage, as the entire assembly will jump violently

upward when the pulling energy is suddenly released!

The Aurora Pump, Aplex Series puller/setting tool and

gauge tool are custom designed and built or each

specic Aurora Pump, Aplex Series pump model.

The same puller head is used on both suction and

discharge seats. The bridge is made to t each model,

and its proper use will not damage the valve cover

gasket machined counterbore on the top o the

fuid end.

SALVAGE OF WORN SEATS 

Rough valve seat aces may oten be renewed by

lapping or grinding, i not deeply fuid-cut.

Perect fatness is required. A surace grind, ollowedby lapping on a lapping plate, provides excellent

smoothness and the fatness needed or good sealing

and smooth running. Metal valve discs may sometimes

be salvaged by grinding or lapping, i not deeply cut

or cracked.

Delrin® discs are relatively inexpensive and salvage is

seldom worthwhile. Replace the stem, i severely worn.

Inconel® valve springs rarely require replacement.

OTHER PUMP BRANDS 

Aurora Pump, Aplex Series Industries can provide its

unique (patented) valve to t nearly all brands and

models o multiplex pumps. An Aurora Pump, Aplex

Series seat setting/puller tool is available too.
